Yeah, I figured the AI would be the issue with "strange" rules (hell, it's still an issue in some bizarre cases in OOTP 14). Obviously for leagues like the CFL and Arena League you can look at real life for some idea of how players / coaches act in certain situations and base the AI on that, but for more esoteric stuff (as you will see when I post that PDF...) it might be a nightmare.
Obviously the other issue is there would need to be separate playbooks for each league.
Regarding historical leagues, it would be nice to have eventually, but that comes back to the issue about different rules.
